So what is transition really? Ok, so it is a change, but what does that mean? Change is the most constant force in the Universe! By transition do we mean a flower blooming? Or a child growing to an adult? Not really, although those can be thought of as transitions. Let’s go deeper and be a bit more specific. The transition I am speaking of today is gender.
In one way the transition is not about change at all, but about awareness. Just being aware of what already is. Our core person does not change; it is who we are. Like peeling the layers of an onion the transition journey is about looking deeper within and throwing away the false self. We have many false identities not just one. Getting caught up in this outer world is so easy with all the roles we have thrust upon us.
“Real” gender transition is about removing the false persona, or male identity (for MtoF) which we created to “fit” into the world based on the existing rules. Removing the veil and allowing our authentic self to emerge is what the journey is all about. Growing up takes time so transition does not happen overnight, however it does happen a lot faster than the first time around, unless you are one of the lucky ones who have not allowed the veil to be drawn. When we start young the false persona is not created, but we still must be aware of our authentic self and make sure that is who we are expressing.
Transition is a natural process that really needs no assistance other than deep awareness. Are you aware of how you feel? What makes you happy? Have you walked down that road and deeply enjoyed the journey? If you are male transitioning to female then dress up and see how it feels. Know as much as you can what you are getting into (or vice versa guys). Letting go of your male persona is like trying to escape a swarm of mosquitoes! It can drive you insane!
Sometimes guidance is necessary along the way, so please get help if you can. Discovering the aspects of you that are false can be a long road and not an obvious one. The most important aspect of the transition journey is to be authentic and natural. Authenticity involves following your bliss, and doing that which brings Joy to your heart. Let go of any desire to play a role or attempt to fit other people’s expectations. It is not about being black or white (male or female), but about showing your true colors!
Blessings on your journey of Love 🙂 Sequoia Elisabeth
